Mizzou Tigers make NCAA women's tournament but won't host first two rounds | The Kansas City Star

The Missouri women’s basketball team is in the NCAA Tournament, but the Tigers fell short of a season-long goal.

They will not be a top-16 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, which means they will not host the first two rounds of the tournament at Mizzou Arena.

Missouri (24-7) will be a No. 5 seed in the Lexington, Ky. regional. Despite the disappointment for MU, this is the highest seed the Tigers have ever received in the 64-team format of the tournament. They will travel to Palo Alto, Calif. To play No. 12 seed Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday at 2:30 p.
